Still think Rosler should have been given more time.

I echo others comments re the reports Dave, and others - always read and
appreciated, if not necessarily agreed with :-)
I don't particularly trust Cellino, and therefore am dubious about the ST
offers, but if it comes off then fine. The £5 on the day surcharge, or join the
membership scheme for £x, really bugs me, and has stopped me buying tickets
too. It feels like a rip-off, and I try not to do rip-offs!
Wood had clearly been told to shoot from anywhere last night, and was both
unlucky and rubbish. He sometimes looks like a footballer, but at other times
looks very ordinary indeed.
11th in the table had me looking at the top 6 for a second last night, until
common-sense kicked in. What might have been eh? I thought Rosler was the right
man and look how that turned out :-(
